Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 22, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 February 1918 — Conscience Satisfied. [ARTICLE]

Conscience Satisfied.

“Lizzie, will you be mine?” “Not on your life 1” “Don’t you love me?" “No, I don't, and never did."„ “Are you sure?’ “Absolutely sure! I would rather, be shot than marry you!” “Thank you for them kind words, Lizzie. I had to ask somebody to mars ry me in order to do my duty, but now that I have been refused I will never have to ask anybody else. Now my conscience will allow me to be a merry old bachelor and have money for my old age.”—Exchange.
